The Effect of Calcium Interaction and Mineralization on the Properties of Poly(Aspartic Acid) Modified Polyplexes for Gene Delivery
DownloadFall 2022
Mineralization is frequently studied as a biomimetic process, owing to the sophisticated architectures and superior mechanical properties of the resultant materials. Bone is a classical example – a nanostructured material with a complex hierarchical architecture that is capable of resisting heavy...
